Two Lady Aggies earn academic honors Aggies
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
For the second consecutive year, outside attacker
Elizabeth Edmiston and middle blocker Kim
Mitchell of the Texas A&M Lady Aggie volleyball
team have been chosen to the six-member GTE Aca
demic All-District VI Volleyball Team. The team
was selected by the College Sports Information Di
rectors of America in District VI which includes all
colleges and universities within the states of Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
In order to be eligible for Academic All-District
honors, an athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumula
tive grade-point ration on a 4.0 scale, must be’a
starter or important reserve and have achieved at
least sophomore status.
Edmiston, a senior kinesiology major from King-
wood, sports a 3.92 GPR. Last year she went on to
be named to the Academic All-America third team.
On the court this season, she is started all 32 matches
and played in 116 of 121 games. Edmiston was re
cently named to the All-SWC second team and to the
SWC All-Tournament team. She has led or shared
team-high honors in kills in 24 of 32 matches and
currently leads the team with a 3.36 kill average and
a 0.28 ace average. Her kill average also ranks sec
ond in the SWC. She is second on the team in dig
average (2.85) and hitting percentage (.210).
Mitchell is a junior accounting major from Mar
shall. Her 3.95 GPR is the highest of all female schol
arship athletes at A&M. She has received numerous
academic awards including the ORYX Energy
Award, a scholarship given to outstanding account
ing students. She is enrolled in accelerated honors
degree plan and will earn her BBA and MBA at the
same time. Mitchell has started all 32 matches and
played in all but six games this season. She leads the
team with a .212 hitting percentage. She is averag
ing 1.8 digs and a team-best 1.0 blocks per game.
Her career-setting performances include a .643 hit
ting percentage at Rice, 20 kills against Mississippi,
13 digs in both regular-season Baylor matches, eight
block assists against Rice and five service aces
against Georgia.

His pace picks up when asked
to recall the series in the third
quar'ier of the Texas game when
the Longhorns had the ball and a
chance to turn what was once a
14-point deficit into a three point
lead.
The drive was stymied when
Aggie linebacker Steve Solari re
covered a Curtis Jackson fumble
on the Texas 37-yard line. The
Aggies capitalized with a field
goal and never looked back.
"We (the defense) had to turn
it up a notch and we did," Cox
said about the crucial third quar
ter defensive stand. "Once we
turn it up, the "Wrecking Crew"
kicks in.
"It also helps that the offensive
gives us a lot of rest. Rodney
Thomas, Greg Hill, Corey Pullig
and our receivers are doing a
great job."
Cox and the rest of the Aggies
are sitting pretty with their perfect
12-0 record. But lady luck has not
been with the Aggies as far as be
ing in a position to play for the
national championship.
The three teams ranked ahead
of the Aggies —Miami, Alabama,
Florida State —also convincingly
won their respective games over
the Thanksgiving holiday.
Cox admitted to waiting for
something to happen over the
weekend that would allow the
Aggies to step up in the Associat-
Contlnued From Page?
"He's a great perimeter shoot,
er, an excellent post-up playei,
and I think the key to the game,"
Barone said. "We have gottocoiv
tain him."
Sophomore guard Tony
McGinnis agreed Williams was
the key to victory for the Aggies.
"It's going to be very important
stopping him (Williams)," McGin
nis said. "So the key to the game
is stopping Ike."
McGinnis also said that he be
lieves the Aggies can compete
against UNM and the rowdy
home crowd.
"It's going to be tough but!
feel like if we go into the game ag
gressively and play good defense,
we have a chance to win," McGin
nis said.
ed Press Top 25 poll.
"I did a little hoping that some
thing would roll our way," Co*
said. "But coach (R.C. Slocum
tells us not to worry about (lie
polls and that we need to go out
and win all of our games."
Don't worry? Easier said than
done.
However, football fans and
players in Aggieland need not
worry about Jessie Cox. Thefn
ture for the linebacker-rich Aggie
looks to be even more prosperous

top five and actually has an out
side shot at the national champi
onship. When the host is 9-2 and
ranked 12th in the nation, it real
ly doesn't matter if the visiting
team ranked third or fifth.
But when your host is 12-0
and ranked fourth, it becomes
top priority to get the highest-
ranked team you can. When this
is the case, television means
nothing. The Cotton Bowl owes it
to the Aggies to bring in the best
team there is.
If Alabama beats Florida Sat
urday, as they should, then it is
all but in stone that the Crimson
Tide will meet top-ranked Miami
in the Sugar Bowl. Then, the
Cotton Bowl gets next choice of a
visiting team. Let's see, there's
third-ranked Florida State, and
there's fifth-ranked Notre Dame.
If your host is ranked fourth,
who do you invite? You prove
nothing by beating a team
ranked lower than you. Even if it
does mean a rematch between
last year's two Cotton Bowl par
ticipants, that game has to be
scheduled.
Just say Florida beats Alaba
ma in the SEC Championship
game this weekend — the Cotton
Bowl would have the highest-
ranked host of the teams in the
coalition. Then there would be
three possible teams to invite.
That decision should be made
without even having to stop and
think. If the No. 1 team in the na
tion is available, invite them. If
Miami decides they want to go
play Florida State in the Fiesta
Bowl, then let them go. At least
give them the invitation.
If the Tide does win, then the
Seminoles are the obvious choice.
Beating the almighty Fighting
Irish meant something to an up-
and-coming Texas A&M pro
gram on Jan. 1,1988. That's be
cause they were, as usual, ranked
higher than the Aggies. But now
we're looking at an A&M team
that hasn't lost a conference
game since December of 1990.
Ranked fourth in the nation, the
Aggies have now established
themselves as a national power.
They deserve shots at the best.
Not to say Notre Dame is not
usually the best, but this year,
there are better teams available.
Another thing the Cotton
Bowl execs don't understand is
that not making a national-title
caliber game available for A&M
is just the type of thing that could
drive a national power away
from the conference. Why
should the Aggies stick around if
they can go 12-0 and their own
bowl won't give them a shot at
the best? Then, the Cotton Bowl
staff would get themselves into
the position of having to watch
the Baylor/Rice game to see who
the host team would be.
And wouldn't that serve them
right?
